Abstract: Dans le but de contrôler un flux gazeux (20), on détermine une première concentration (200) d'un constituant gazeux à une première position dans le flux gazeux, et une deuxième concentration (210) de ce constituant gazeux à une deuxième position du flux gazeux. On détermine ensuite une différence de concentration (230) de ce constituant gazeux à partir de la première et de la deuxième concentration, cette différence de concentration permettant d'indiquer si la concentration du constituant gazeux a augmenté, diminué ou est restée pratiquement stable entre la première et la deuxième position du flux gazeux.

Title: Systeme et procede d'integration de composants gazeux
Inventor: TSOURIDES CHRISTOPHER A
IPC: F17C13/04
Filed: 1999-10-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'intégrer des composants gazeux, qui combine ensemble, soit en mode en ligne, soit en mode modulaire, au moins deux composants gazeux utilisés dans une tige de gaz pour écouler un gaz d'un premier point vers un point extrémité. Dans un mode de réalisation, on combine un transducteur de pression, un filtre et un écran dans une seule unité qui réduira la dimension de la tige de gaz le long de l'axe d'écoulement de gaz de ladite tige. Les composants gazeux peuvent être intégrés à l'aide de liaisons VCR pour une utilisation en ligne, selon l'invention. En forme modulaire, on peut utiliser plusieurs liaisons différentes pour relier les composants gazeux verticalement sur un bloc de base modulaire (c'est-à-dire approximativement perpendiculairement au bloc de base modulaire). Ainsi, les composants gazeux seront empilés verticalement par rapport l'axe horizontal classique du débit gazeux.

IPC: D01B1/14
Filed: 1999-09-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for preparing fibrous vegetable material, especially hemp plants, for further processing. The fibrous vegetable material (1) is introduced into the receiving shaft (2) of a tobacco cutting machine known per se in the tobacco processing industry. It is pressed by means of a continuously operating pressing machine (7) with rotating and converging press conveyors (4, 6), broken up and cut into sections (21) of a desired length when it exits from an opening (14) by means of a cutting device with rotating blades (17). The fibre components (34) and the wood and stem components (36) are separated from each other for further individual processing. One advantage of the invention is that the fibre components are separated from the wood and stem components in a mass of vegetable material with high throughput rates in a rational and effective manner.

Abstract: On détermine des cartes superficielles globales de pentes et de hauteurs pour la surface extrêmement lisse d'une plaquette de silicium, au moyen d'un appareil qui comporte une source lumineuse permettant de créer un faisceau lumineux et des systèmes de transport de plaquettes à balayage qui font en sorte que le faisceau incident balaye la totalité de la surface de la plaquette. Un photodétecteur à quatre cellules est positionné de manière à recevoir le faisceau qui fait l'objet d'une réflexion spéculaire à la surface de la plaquette, ce détecteur étant doté de quatre cellules disposées en quadrants de sorte que chaque cellule fournisse un signal électrique indicateur de l'intensité lumineuse reçue par la cellule. Un processeur est programmé de manière à calculer des modifications d'emplacement ponctuel sur le détecteur en fonction des signaux en provenance des cellules, et à calculer des changements dans les pentes de la surface en fonction des changements d'emplacement ponctuel. On produit des cartes globales des pentes en X et en Y, et l'on utilise un algorithme d'intégration de ligne pour calculer des cartes de hauteurs globales de la surface. Les régions dont le gradient de hauteur sur la surface excède un seuil donné sont marquées par le processeur comme étant des défauts.

Title: Audio coding that attenuates spectral splatter at frame boundaries.
Inventor: FIELDER LOUIS DUNN
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2001-05-29
Abstract: Several audio signal processing techniques may be used in various combinations to improve the quality of audio represented by an information stream formed by splice editing two or more other information streams. The techniques are particularly useful in applications that bundle audio information with video information. In one technique, gain-control words conveyed with the audio information stream are used to interpolate playback sound levels across a splice. In another technique, special filterbanks or forms of TDAC transforms are used to suppress aliasing artifacts on either side of a splice. In yet another technique, special filterbanks or crossfade window functions are used to optimize the attenuation of spectral splatter created at a splice. In a further technique, audio sample rates are converted according to frame lengths and rates to allow audio information to be bundled with, for example, video information. In yet a further technique, audio blocks are dynamically aligned so that proper synchronization can be maintained across a splice. An example for 48 kHz audio with NTSC video is discussed.

Title: Channel estimation in a cdma wireless communication system.
Inventor: LEUNG GILBERT
IPC: H04B1/7073
Filed: 2002-08-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating channel conditions in a code-division multiple access (CDMA) communication system having a pilot signal and a traffic signal. The apparatus includes a pilot filter for generating channel estimates from the pilot signal and a circuit for reconstructing the traffic information bits after they have been decoded. A predictive channel estimation circuit generates predictive channel estimates from the original traffic signal demodulated by the reconstructed traffic information bits. A demodulator demodulates the traffic signal using the predictive channel estimates and the pilot signal channel estimates. By using the predictive channel estimates that contain signal energy from the traffic signal as a coherent reference, the channel conditions may be estimated more accurately than by using the pilot signal alone.

Title: Broadcast transmission system with sampling and correction arrangement for correcting distortion caused by amplifying and signal conditioning components
Inventor: EDWIN R TWITCHELL
IPC: H04B1/04
Filed: 2002-10-30
Abstract: A transmission system (14) broadcasts a signal. Within the system (14), a power amplifier (20) causes non-linear distortion. A pre-amp component, such as a band-pass filter (32), causes linear distortion. A high power filter (38) is located downstream of the power amplifier (20) and causes linear distortion. A linear equalizer (42) compensates for the distortion caused by the high power filter (38). A non-linear corrector (44) compensates for the distortion caused by the power amplifier (20), and is located downstream of the linear equalizer (42). A linear equalizer (46) compensates for the distortion caused by the pre-amp components (e.g., 32). The compensating components (42-46) are located upstream of the distorting, pre-amp component (e.g., 32). Signal sampling points (70-74) are located downstream of each distorting component (20, 32, and 38). Sampling selectively occurs at one of the sample points (70-74) for use to update compensation.
Patent HK-1046336-A1 (HK)
Title: Broadcast transmission system with distributed correction
Inventor: EDWIN R TWITCHELL
IPC: H04L27/01
Filed: 2002-10-30
Abstract: A transmission system (14) broadcasts an information signal. Within the system (14), several components (e.g., 20-24) cause distortion to the information signal as the signal is processed and proceeds toward a broadcast antenna. Specifically, the group of distortion causing components (20-24) is identified as a first group, and is arranged in a sequence along a signal path (12) toward the antenna. The first group of components (20-24) performs various functions, including amplification, but each subjects the information signal to distortion shifts away from intended values. A second group of components (e.g., 28-32) modifies the information signal to compensate for the distortion shifts imposed by the first group of components (20-24). The second group of components (28-32) is located upstream of the first group of components (20-24). The second group of components (28-32) is arranged in a sequence to modify the information signal to compensate for the distortions in an order inverse to the occurrence of the distortions. Specifically, compensation for linear and non-linear distortions occurs in an order that is inverse to the occurrence of the linear and non-linear distortions.
